Jesus Christ, it's even worse than I remembered. I just gave Dark Souls Remastered a spin thinking it would feel terribly outdated and slow compared to Elden Ring but it's still very good. The animations and artwork look great at high resolutions. The combat albeit slow is still fairly satisfying and I managed to make it all the way to the Moonlight Butterfly, still a very solid game even after more than 10 years.
Dark Souls II though, holy shit, this game is bad. First of all, the graphics are fucking atrocious. It seems everything looks worse than in the original game (not even the remastered) with worse texture work, worse lighting, and absolutely terrible artwork. If it was just that I wouldn't be bitching so much, but even the movement feels terribly awkward and there is no punch behind hits and weapon swings. Everything just feels terrible and I cannot stress just how bad it looks. Somehow, it manages to look and feel much more dated than its predecessor. You would swear that it's the older game. Hell, even Demon's Souls on PS3 (albeit running at 60fps on RPCS3) is much, much better.
I made it to Mujula and stopped. I have no idea how I even managed to beat this turd back in 2014. This game is vanilla Oblivion tier of janky except without an open mesmerizing world to get engrossed into.
